Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To describe our technique of transvesical laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) plus complete urethral reconstruction(CUR).
MATERIAL AND METHODS
From May 2019 to May 2021, 28 BPH patients with prostate volumes > 80 ml and the requirement to preserve the ejaculatory function (EF) received LSP plus CUR. Baseline demographics, pathology data, perioperative and postoperative complications, and functional outcomes were assessed. Data were analyzed with the Wilcoxon test.
RESULTS
The median prostate volume was 106 ml. All patients successfully underwent LSP with no intraoperative complications or conversions to open surgery. The median operative time was 146 min. A total of five Clavien-Dindo Grade1-2 postoperative complications were noted, including infection, prolonged urine leakage and cardiac arrhythmia. No patient reported postoperative urgent or stress urinary incontinence. Functional outcomes at one-year follow-up demonstrated significant improvement from baseline with median IPSS and Qmax (p both < 0.001). Compared with baseline, no significant difference was observed in IIEF and MSHQ-EjD-SF at 6 and 12 months postoperatively.
CONCLUSIONS
Our data support transperitoneal-transvesical LSP plus CUR as a safe and effective surgical technique for treating BPH with large prostate adenoma, regardless of the volume of the median lobe, especially for patients requiring to preserve antegrade ejaculation.
